Sonic Boom New Character Sticks Revealed

 

sticks-sonic-boom-promo-02

Sega have unveiled the latest character to become part of the Sonic friend circle in Sonic Boom and her name is Sticks. She is a wild born jungle badger who wants to protect her friends at any cost and seems to have some sort of issue with the government replacing her plants with violins. It is also revealed Sticks has some social issues so coming into modern society will prove difficult for her, but Amy is willing to help her adapt. While Sticks is armed with a boomerang, Sega seemed to stay away from mentioning if she will be a playable character within the new games, only saying she will feature in both the 3DS and Wii U versions of Sonic Boom as well as the television show which are all part of the same universe with intertwining stories. Sonic Boom will feature drastically different gameplay then what we have seen in past Sonic games, with an emphasis on exploration and collaborative gameplay.

Hiroyuki Miyazaki, Chief Content Officer for the Sonic Brand, SEGA of America had this to say on the reveal:

“Sticks is a significant addition to the Sonic Boom universe and the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise, she brings a quirky personality and perspective to the team dynamic, and we look forward to sharing this energetic and funny new character with the world.”

You can watch the trailer below to see more about Sticks unique character and also hear her voice for the first time. Let us know in the comments below what you think about this latest addition to the Sonic Universe.

New Nosgoth character Prophet unveiled and playable today

New Nosgoth character Prophet unveiled and playable today

Ahead of E3, Square Enix is excited to announce the Prophet as the latest character to be joining the Human roster in Nosgoth, from today. Attendees at E3 this year will be able to get hands-on in the dark fantasy world of Humans vs. Vampires, where the new character class will be playable within the City of the Razielim, a brand new map set in the underground for the very first time.

The Human character, Prophet, delivers severe damage to Vampire characters, with her blood curses and magical abilities. Using tainted blood as weapons, bullets dipped in the fluid carry wicked hexes that the Prophet can use against the Vampires. Dual handguns are their weapons of choice and they can select between three unique types:

Dual pistols – Two finely crafted flintlock pistols
Heavy pistols – Heavier Flintlocks that deal more damaging, but fire more slowly
Quick pistols – Lightweight flintlocks that can fire rapidly at the cost of power

As the first class to wield dual weapons along with the ability to use powerful curses and magic, the Prophet is a welcome addition to any team with both supporting and offensive capabilities to aid her allies and devastate her enemies.

Soon to be available after the new character update will be four new terrifyingly striking skins, which allow players to customise a stand out Nosgoth experience, in the fight for supremacy and survival.

Nosgoth is currently in Closed Beta and is constantly being updated with new classes, maps, modes, abilities, weapons, controller and e-sport support, challenges, a league ranking system and much,  much more!

About Nosgoth
Developed by Psyonix, Nosgoth is a unique team-based player-versus-player game pitting together a variety of brutal Human and Vampire characters in a fight for survival.  Created as a competitive free-to-play title in order to break down barriers between the creators and the players, Nosgoth doesn’t include weapons, items or abilities that are inherently better (aka supremacy goods).  All items in the Nosgoth in-game store are side-grades not upgrades to create a fair game experience based purely on skill.

May 29 2014 – Rome, Italy – Today GhostShark Games is proud to announce that their voxel based PvP FPS, Blockstorm, is available on Steam Early Access.

BlockStorm is an FPS set in a world that consists entirely of  destructible blocks and with the in-game editor, it allows you to fully customize your game and quickly share your creations with other players.  You’re free to create your own maps and characters from scratch or simply customize existing ones.

BlockStorm is our first commercial production and we hope you will appreciate our efforts.  After a year of work, we have built a basis on which to develop, following the varied opinions of our community,’ said Davide Barbieri, game director at GhostShark Games, ‘BlockStorm will be available on Steam Early Access and this means that the game will change as you play. Based on your feedback, we will update, add content and ultimately evolve. It’ll remain in development until we feel the community believes the game is ready for a full commercial release.’

The maps and characters included in the game are made with the same tools that are available to the public, so you’re only limited by your imagination.

Weapons range from precise rifles to heavy machine guns or even explosives capable of destroying hiding places and creating tactical advantages.  So now, there really is no hiding place that a pesky camper can hide in and stay safe in the game’s 3 modes – Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch and Assault.

Pick out your own load out, choosing between a set of weapons configured by the creator of the map.

You can build anything and everything in Blockstorm, and best of all, it can & will be destroyed!.
